ATHENS ON A BOOM.
The boom spirit is stirring Athens
from center to circumference. The
Banner brings out his biggest rooster
and crows so loud as to startle At-
lanta. Athens is to have four rails
roads and divert trade even from the
capital city. The G. C. & Northern
is assured. The Augusta A Chatta-
nooga is certain to come. A road
from Athens through Gainesville,
Dahlonega, to the Marietta & N. G.
road, soon to Knoxville is only a
question of time. Judge Thomas’
road when completed will be a great
feeder to the city; a large hotel is to
be built, and so the Banner seems
justified in its enthusiasm at the
bright prospects,
THE NEW CAPITOL.
The Legislature of Georgia con-
veiled at the new capital, July 4th,
t( ie anniversary day of our nation,
j„ q ie presence of both legislative
bodies, and a large concourse of peo-
p] e> t j )e manificent capitcd was for¬
nin Jiy dedicated and made over to the
stat0 The venerable chaplain of
the senate? the Kev . j ohn Jones,
made the dedicatory prayer; dedica¬
ting the house to God first: “Unless
God build the house, they labor in
vain who build it.”
Capt. Evan P. Ilowell, represen-
t! ng the capitol commission, in a
neat speech, made over the building
delivered the keys into the hands
°f Governor Gordon. In an address
reploto with eloquence and beauty of
language, the Governor, in behalf of
the state,accepted “Georgia’s new and
superb capitol.” A general out-
burst of applause followed the close
of the eloquent oration; tho people
retired, and the legislature opened
its session. It is a building worthy
to bo called theCapitol of the Empire
State of the South.
GARNECUE TUiTrICH MAN.
Carnegie the great iron and steel
man is very rich; twenty four hun-
dred of his laborers are very poor.
The other day he reduced their wages
per cent, thus making them grow
poorer that he may grow richer; for
their hard earnings add to his mil-
lions every year. Now the shrewd
Carnegie writes an article for a mag¬
azine, in which he shows it is better
tor people to die poor, thinking per-
chance to make his workmen contcn-
ted with small wages. Dot they
don’t seem to appreciate the moral
the pious Carnegie seeks to inculcate.
The twenty tour hundred are so
rod foolish as to strike against
the reduction . .• ; w „ ith -,r them it •. • not
riches but daily bread. It Carnegie
in stead of keeping back some of
their hard earnings, would divide a
hundred thousand or two with these
poor people, he would practice
what he preaches and people would
believe him sincere. His motto seems
to be: “It is better for people genei’-
ally to die poor; but as for me let me
death of the rich man and let
my last end be like his.”

CARNES CREEK.
FARMER.
Carnes Creek Alliance, of this
county, has passed a resolution to
not use anything hut cotton bagging
to cover cotton tho coming season,
and have already ordered enough to
cover 100 bales.
The County Alliance meets this
month, and will elect delegates to
the State Alliance.
The report from the department of
agriculture of Georgia for the month
of May, shews a decrease of 3 per
cent, in the area devoted to cotton
as compared with last year, exactly
corresponding in the increase in corn
area. It is gratifying to see that the
farmers of Georgia are at last realiz-
ing that they must first make their
supplies at home, and then make cot¬
ton as a surplus crop.
We have had good weather for the
last week, and cotton and corn are
progressing finely; so is the grass.
The probability is that the largest
fruit i rop will be harvested ever
known in the history of the State.

Copious rains have fallen through¬
out this portion of the county for the
past several days, and is greatly ben-
efiting the growing crops, especially
new grounds, of which a larger area
has been put into cultivation this
year than for many years previously,
and now our fanners have put on
their best smiles and look hopeful for
■ a good crop.
There is some sickness in our sec-
tion, but none of a serious character,
we hope,
Mr. G. Stonecypher has the finest
looking corn we have seen this sea-
s. N. Camp has the best cotton that
the writer has seen. Mr. Camp is not
only the champion cotton grower of
this vicinity, but he also is the chain-
pion marksman, as he killed a very
large hoo hooowl one day Inst week
with his double barrel shot gun, a
long distance. He also is the happiest
and proudest man in the county upon
the recent arrival of a new boarder
at his house; if you can’t guess the

time. If something is not done in
the way of education, we will be sad¬
ly left.

FARM NOTES.
More fertilizers were analized last
year in Georgia than ever before,
This would seen to indicate that the
amount of fertilizers used was increas-
ing.
Lime applied broadcast to the soil
aids to render plantfood already in the
soil available, and it is an exception
to find a soil but that can be more
or less benefited.
How to Make Farming Pay’.—

ed in a city, learned a useful trr.de,
and always commanded the highest
wages ; can now leave the farm and
get steady employment at three dol¬
lars a day, but that does not pay
near so well as the farm.
“Use of House Slops.— It is a
very profitable use of house slops,and
the water used on washday to put
them on the garden. Such plants as
asparagus and rhubaib,require lots of

FOR THE GIRRS.
A great many of our girls of the
present day suffer from inconvenien¬
ces that by a little knowledge and
careful attention can bo remedied.
Breaking out upon the face can be
corrected by abstaining from the use
of butter for awhile or too greasy food,
and taking inwardly a table-spoonful
of equal parts of sulphur and molas
scs mixed with half the quanity of
cream of tartar, every morning for
three mornings, and then discontinue
it for awhile. Eating a lemon every
morning before breakfast during the
eailv spring months will correct
many impurities of the blood.
PERSPIRATION
Sometimes even wearing shields is
not sufEeent protection to dresses,
but the prime cause of profuse per¬
spiration under the arms is nervous¬
ness, and a tonic for the nerves will
hell) allay Urs to some extent. Those
rubber shields are the best which are
covered with stockinet, as when soil-
^ they can be easily’ washed. Baste
them all round the edge to keep them
in place and wash them in cold water,
so as not to destroy the rubber. Plac¬
ing a layer of cotton between the out¬
side liniug of the dress will often pre¬
vent it from coming through. Pro¬
tectors of white flannel worn next to
the skin will act as an absorbent.
These should be basted inside the un¬
der-vest. Frequent bathing is a good
corrective.
30APS.
The face should not be washed with
soap. A little ammonia added to the
water will do the work better and
leave the skin purer and less glossy.
Pat the the face dry, and while it is
a little damp you may even use a
little face power to keep off the shiny
: ppearance. As much as possible
keep the hands away from the face.
Wear a veil in all windy weathers,
also when going long distances
through the very hot sun, as the re¬
flection of the sun from the path burns
almost as badly as its direct rays .

A PLEASANT RESORT IN TZZE
MOUNTAINS.
Athens Batin";-.
A party of gentlemen from Lhis
dir. CAV*B^Gina”'Oaptj” ’ E.’
Cox, have arranged to erect a sum-
mer home on tho Chattooga river, a-
bout six miles distant from Tallulah
Falls, to which they can repair during
the sully summer months and hunt,
fish and while away their idle hours.
A little rural Arcadia has been se-
lected for this resort. On a rolling
strip of ground near the banks of the
Chattooga, they will erect a three-
room club house. At the door is ahold
spring of the purest freestone water;a
beautiful little mountain towers at
the rear, while on the right is a rip-
pling brook. By laying a pipe 150
yards spring water can be placed all
through the building, witli a fall
30 feet. The river abounds iu the
finest fish, and for a distance cf ten
miles can he navigated with sail
boats. The woods are full of game,
while the surroundiug country wil 1
sudply the tourists with produce for
the table. The fish caught here are
very fine, and a cat makes as nice a
meal as a trout caught in the south¬
ern waters.
The land is owned by an old man
named Pitts Vandiver, who has kindly
consented to let these gentlemen have
full use of tins property for 09 years,
without any remuneration, and also
grants them preserves over the neigh¬
boring mountains and streams.
